Student Loans By Arry Rendel 5th period Knowledge is key to becoming successful in life. But sometimes further education can become costly. And no one wants to be in debt just because of student loans. I think that they should provide more grants and scholarships because some students can’t afford to attend colleges.

has also had an effect on student advising. Because full-time faculty conduct advising, and there are only so many available, it is not uncommon for students’ advisors to change between semesters or be from outside of the student’s major. I find this problematic since this can prevent students from forming meaningful connections with their advisors. In addition, advisors who are assigned students from outside their department may not know enough about the classes a student needs to take. Furthermore
As a senior college student, I am often under a lot of stress. This stress causes me to become anxious, nervous, and restless. It is difficult for me to focus on the present moment, because I am often worried about future events such as exams, projects, and graduate school. Since this stress directly interferes with my ability to focus, spend time with my friends and family, and do the things I love, I want to change this behavior. I am going to change this behavior by implementing mindfulness into

Many of the students facing stress are simply unable to cope with the effects. Whether it 's time management, lack of sleep, or even tough classes, college students tend to face stress on a daily basis. For student athletes these stresses can be even more extreme.
